Salvage - Silver Sea Remnants - thread 2

[Shadida]

The fomors in that room most certainly drop Magic and JA cells along with gear/stats.

Can't say I've ever seen a HP or MP cell but they probably drop those too.

[Slott]

lRDM COR rRDM lMNK RNG rMNK

assuming that pattern:

lRDM: 3 HP + 1 MP
COR: 3 Abilities + 1 STR
rRDM: 3 Body + 1 Legs
lMNK: 3 Weapon + 1 Hands
RNG: 3 Subs + 1 Ranged
rMNK: 3 Magic + 1 VIT

kinda suprised this wasn't on the wiki ages ago since it's always been like this

Would someone mind editing this either into wiki or the first post? It's extremely useful and having to refer back to page 5 is getting a bit more annoying. Thanks

Fransisco II, you don't kill 35 NM's on your boss runs? How many people do you have attending?

On our boss runs, we usually do, on first floor, kill the 8 fomors (+ the one in the middle room) in the first 2 wing rooms, skip the ones at the end rooms, then move down to hammer blow room and kill those, then kill hammerblow. Proceed to second floor and head NW, then kill Dekka, move to third floor, kill Gyroscopic Gear + the imp NM, then proceed to kill boss. My group won't let me try for Gyroscopic Gears though. Usually do him on farm runs instead.

Speaking of which, I've been keeping track of all the NM's we've killed and the drops we've got. Although its from all zones, our current drop rate is at 6,97% Does this fit in with everyone elses drop rates? Since I started keeping track, we have 86 total killed with 6 35 drops =/

[Kaylia]

5% drop rate sound about right on most NM. Our at the moment is around 3-4% counting every zone.

[Uzor]

with or without TH4?

It'd probably be safe to take QQTH out of your calculation to come up with a better result. From what I hear, he certainly has a much lower drop rate than any other NM in Salvage. Also, Uzor were you just counting Silver Seas or all?

I've been doing SSR for a week now. Route is always: 1f west, 2f south east, 3f east. So far I've seen 1 drop, Macha Pants. So that's 1/7~8.

We entered with 8 last night.

Eventually, we'll be farming 35s on boss runs as well, but I want to make sure we get to a point where we can kill the boss with plenty of time left. It's a good thing too, as we really cut it close last night.

Even so, I don't consider it horribly wasteful... with a group of 8, it's pretty easy to just farm the boss for a week or two and be done with it.

[Kaylia]

Our drop rate is around 3% in overall excluding Qirin. I don't have the exact stats, but we got 2 drop in our last ~50 NM kills (counting rampart as 1 NM, not the actual NM that never pop). Didnt count anything from zhayolm in those number.

But everyone average seem to be 5-6%.

[Uzor]

Counted all zones. From when I started keeping track, we're at:

Gate Widow: 10 total, 2 macha's hands
Skirmish Pephedro: 10 total, 1 Hikazu Feet
Hammerblow: 13 total
Powderkeg: 7 total, 2 Macha's Legs
Gyroscopic Gear: 8
Gyroscopic Gears: 4 total, 1 Deimos's Cuirass
Dekka: 9
Qiqirn Treasure Hunter: 16
Qiqirn Astrologer: 6
Deviant Bhoot: 2
Poroggo Madame 4S: 1

I go with 2 different shells though, so I kept statistics with both. First shell I lead. Since we're currently not focusing on Arrapago, and only have 16/6 of the Qiqirn NM's counted for, that could explain the slightly higher average drop rate I keep track on a per-NM drop rate as well, so I could make a second calculation in my spreadsheet that doesn't include Qiqirn NM's at a later date when I feel like it.

And yeah, we can kill the boss with 8 people, although we're usually 9-12. We're pretty much done with Silver Sea Remenants, just want 35 usukane head and 35 marduk feet, and 25 usukane feet. After that we'll move on to Zhayolm Remenants -.-;

[Akanei]

We're like...

1/10-12 or something on Hammerblow
0/9-11 on Powderkeg and Gyro Triple

...I really wish gyro would just drop and make me 3/3 so we never have to fight it, ever again.

[Arthars]

Powderkeg: 7 total, 2 Macha's Legs

holy shit we at 0/15 lol

1/15 hammerblow tho

[divisortheory]

Powderkeg: 7 total, 2 Macha's Legs

holy shit we at 0/15 lol

1/15 hammerblow tho

We're like 1/4 Powderkeg, 1/6 Hammerblow, and 1/6 Dekka :D

[alphacat]

That's some incredible drop rate. Do you always bring a thf? I'm at 0/10 Hammerblow, 1/10 Powderkeg, 0/10 GGS. The drop rate is rather depression, but on the other hand, we almost never have a thf.

[divisortheory]

I'm always on THF, so yea.

[Arthars]

Powderkeg: 7 total, 2 Macha's Legs

holy shit we at 0/15 lol

1/15 hammerblow tho

We're like 1/4 Powderkeg, 1/6 Hammerblow, and 1/6 Dekka :D

thats really nice O_O

grab a thf and give them all the skadi they want

no thf no brd = no events

It's nice being THF, every single salvage run i've ever been on I was the only one lotting skadi lol.

Problem with SS is that if you go Skadi route, you will need to skip Morigan... and a lot more ppl want M than S >.<
